In an effort to erase pay differences between men and women, The Paycheck Fairness Act passed the House on a vote of 256-163. This act would require employers to provide a legitimate reason explaining payment of different salaries to men and women doing the same job. Those in support of this legislation say that it will even the playing field, those that don't support it say that it goes beyond a reasonable expectation and does not allow employers to justify pay inequities that are caused by different geographic locations.
